Watched a bit last night English Teacher - excellent, bought their album Super grass - dialling it in 👎 Wet Leg. Not bad, singer has very nice bum Wundahorse - loved 'em. Huge energy and very heavy. + Kim Wilde's son on guitar.....guess he should be in America 😊 Loyle somebody. A rapper. Rap isn't my thing but I enjoyed his set, sort of a jazz/funk rap vibe The 1975 - so so, a bit dull tbh Looking forward to tonight's offerings

Kudos

Audiences don't care if you use fingers, a pick, your big toe or next door's cats claws, they care about the sound and if you're in the groove. The 'pick or not to pick' debate is a nonsense, use whatever fits the sound. ......just as long as no-one asks us low-enders to smile when on stage. 🤐

I give in, what bass was Badbadnotgoods Chester Hanson playing? Def wasn’t a Grabber that his webpage says he ‘always plays’!

How good is that!!!

I really like this board! 🤩

Huh? Isn’t that an oxymoron? 🧐like “thoughtful politician”

Absolutely no need to worry about the ratings or the pairing of the amp/cab; generally the biggest/only worry or consideration is not getting the impedance wrong i.e. plugging a pair of 4 ohm cabs (which is 99% sure to be 2 ohms) into an amp that is rated down to 4 ohms minimum.

Anybody around at Upton Jazz today? Im with Leeds City Stompers this evening from 8. My first visit to this festival.

I thought they were great - excellent musicians. Though I feel their cover of "Sunshine" was ill-advised; musically they nailed it but the drummer's "singing" and constant shouts of "hey Glastonbury" would have poor old Ayers spinning in his grave!

Iron maiden in dublin - still awesome after all these years. not the best Ive seen them (no criticism, theyve just set such a high bar for live performance over the years) but if you asked me to draw up my dream setlist it'd be pretty close to this. New drummer seem to have settled in nicely, he's not quite as fluent sounding as nicko but he's only been with them for a couple of months, rather than nicko's 40+ years. Adrian smith dusted off his old Lado guitar, was a shame 'arry didnt dig his Lado bass out too - he was as flawless as ever - an absolute machine. not my footage but it gives the general gist of things - I was a bit irked by the cgi projected backdrop at first but it quickly won me over - it's probably the best Ive ever seen this sort of thing used. I was feeling positively seasick by the end of the ancient mariner

Nice score Russ! The GTBD was on my bucket list for a few years albeit I was not succesfull in getting one. I had a GT-7 though for a few years, the regular overseas Conklin 7er and that was a great bass, heavy but balanced exceptionally well with the huge body and fat neck. I seem to remember that the neck on the Dickens model is somewhat narrower and thinner than the GT-7. I think you are up for a treat!

Thanks for detailed reply, Sibob. Well, as a matter of fact, I do have TS -> XLR cables custom made for running DI out of Stomp! I'm not exactly sure, how I'd hear it in this particular scenario? Thank you. Overall, I hear it kind of defeats the necessity of obtaining such a DI, merely because of the groundloop function it wins against Stomp's DI.. PS What a lovely board you got there!
